[–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 6 points 9 months ago (5 children) Shame there's still only one for Mbin after all this time. permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 9 months ago (3 children) How many MAUs does Mbin have, like 1000 combined across all the instances? One single app makes sense to me. I'm sure more will add compatibility if Mbin ever takes off, but it sounds like a lot of work at the moment for very marginal gains or demand. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Pamasich@kbin.earth 4 points 9 months ago (1 child) Piefed has only 2k too and it has 6 apps on this list. Mbin is at 1.4k according to fedidb. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Xylight@feddit.online 3 points 9 months ago The Piefed API is structured very similarly to Lemmy which allowed me to write a simple adaptor for it without changing much of my clients actual code. I think mbin's API would take a lot longer to adapt. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mudkip@lemdro.id 0 points 9 months ago The problem is that mbin's "API" is quite different from Lemmy and PieFed. It would be easier to make an entirely new app for mbin rather than try to retrofit those capabilities into the existing lines of code, which could cause maintanence headaches with the coding (as I understand it) This is a core reason why Photon (one of the "clients" for Lemmy) has not yet added a functionality for it permalink fedilink source parent [–] breadguy@kbin.earth 4 points 9 months ago it's great now though permalink fedilink source parent
